I sent in my petition at the end of the first week of May, and I received a call this morning, so not even two weeks for me. Unfortunately, I missed the call and have to call back tomorrow morning to find out what the decision was.

Honestly I think if they keep calling and you don't pick up they might just move on to another petition. The reason for that might be that they are trying to fill the class asap. I also got that impression when I was talking on the phone with the person that let me know about my petition. She wanted to MAKE SURE that I was going to UIC. She asked me several times that if I was holding out on any other school that I needed to let them know and cc her in the e-mail to them.
Anyways, what I would recommend is that you find a way to call the office of admissions and ask her to put in your file to e-mail you instead of calling. Like that you would have more control over the situation. Of course this is just my opinion though.
Good luck!!!

I addressed my petition to Dr. Girotti. Well, I actually met him personally during my interview day so when I wrote him I was more like explaining my situation and asking him for advice more than anything. He then replied (very fast, like one hour later) saying that he would consider my e-mail to him as my official petition (not the official petition that I had attached to the e-mail). My petition was granted 2 days later... yey!
Good luck to you!
and thanks for all the good wishes you guys have sent me! I really hope to get to meet some of you soon.
Is anyone here attending the Chicago SPP?
It was optional and I chose to do it because thought it would be a great way to meet some classmates, instructors and get accustomed to the environment. See you there!I'll be in the Chicago SPP. I just filled out the paperwork and faxed it over today

i can't wait to meet all of you in august. lol what u mean? The deadline to withdraw was past few days.. at most you're gonna lose a deposit if you're still holding multiple acceptances... unless that other school has set some sort of its own deadline for you to choose b/w them and UIC..!?
I wasn't accepted until April -- I interviewed in March. I never even had a chance to apply.
You could apply to the UMED program before being accepted. I believe they accepted applications until February or March. I wasn't able to make the first interview during 2nd look day. They are holding alternate interviews tomorrow, which I'll be attending.
